He had to know that whatever way they chose to move on from here - whether he cut and run or whether he stayed and tried to complete his mission, suspicion would be placed upon Jyn's shoulders nonetheless. They lived together, after all, how could she not know that her husband was the enemy?

No, she didn't have to offer her assistance, and she knew that she probably should have chosen the first option - to walk away now and never look back, but her terrible, selfish heart didn't allow her to suggest it.

Jyn waited for Cassian to say something - anything - her pulse fluttering nervously as she watched him, the emotion that he was choosing to share with her, how conflicted he seemed to be about everything, too.

"What will it take for you to trust me?", she managed to ask, her voice soft, teetering on steadiness. "I'll do it."

He could take her to his ship, take her to talk to the droid, who had said, after all, that it had been monitoring his vitals. It could monitor hers, as well, interrogate her if necessary to prove that she was not lying.

"If they caught wind of who you truly are ... they would suspect me. So unless you created a scenario that proved that you were convincingly dead and they did not question my loyalty ... I'd probably have to run, too. I ... don't have anyone or anywhere to run to, but I'd run."

She took a shaky breath, shrugging her shoulders. "I don't belong here, anyway. I don't - "

Too much. He didn't know that her loyalty had been wavering for quite some time. He didn't know that she had been speaking to others who felt the same way. How could he know - she hadn't been part of his original mission.

Her eyes widened and her heart nearly beat out of her chest, and she wondered ... had he really asked the question or had she simply imagined it instead?

Her throat dry, she finally found enough composure to ask -

"Would you want me to?"
